Weed doesn't kill brain cells, you moron. You're general knowledge is a byproduct of hearsay and government propaganda, it's time you do some research of your own.

You probably dont have many people who like being around you do you? Just because I was supposevly wrong about something, doesnt mean you have to be an ass about it. Instead, you could just tell me what really happens when you blaze. AND DUDE, DONT GET ME WRONG I LOVE TO BLAZE, BUT I JUST WANTED TO KNOW. Anyway, that wasnt even the point of my post.

You're so conditioned to believe that everything illegal is somehow bad for you. You buy into "their" word instead of seeing out the truth, like I said, do some research and try to correct the damage this misinformation has cuased to your thought processes.

go to cannabis.com to read about weed or go to your local book stores and check out the gardening section although this may have more on grwoing it than anything. but remember read many different sources, see why these people consider themselves expert enough to write a book, and then form your own opinion.

Physically I have found nothing wrong with them (just my research)
Although you can probably guess the mental problems, which aren't necessarily problems... if you get what im saying

Nothing is the matter with shrooms. As far as my research has brought me. I could probably read more indepth but I think I have enough knowledge to continue to eat them. Alcohol only hurts the liver in binge amounts. One beer a day has been proven to be positive for the heart.

Seems to me like instead of lecturing this person it would be a lot more helpful if we actually answer his-or-her question. Now before you read on I must advise that my information does NOT come from a lab study or an official source so before you get out your neato flaming dictionary realize that I'm just stating what I've been told. Please realize that mushrooms, despite popular rumors such as being completely unharmful to the body, DO take a toll on your liver. This is a fact. With that said, also understand that MANY substances that we eat on a regular basis are also harmful. Because of our happy little friend cellular mitosis any damage that our crunchy little mushroom friends cause to our livers is, for lack of better words, repaired in no time. Like anything else in life, use in moderation and you'll be fine. p.s. mentally though psychadelics haven't been around long enough for us to know what harm mentally they can cause. Or should I say, science hasn't been around long enough. After all, we STILL don't know why our minds act the way they do when the chemicals are introduced. Don't believe me? do yourself a favour and crawl through erowid.org's site. I mean think about it, we all know that doing mushrooms can completely change a person. Although usually for the better, there are times when this change is a negative one which can be very harmful to your mind and/or your body.

Actually I remember in my readings somewhere that it does take a somewhat of a toll on your liver. But I think like you said it is easily repaired. So thats probably why I shoved that little tidbit of info into the back of my brain.

Even goverment anti-drug websites have very little say about mushrooms. They generally briefly mention that it is unpredictable and can cause insable mental conditions or mood swings. Thats if they mention it at all - sometimes they just say its simular to LSD - LSD's main drawbacks being 'flashbacks' or 'long-lasting psychoses, such as schizophrenia or severe depression'. Although the last one, I believe, is taken out of context. Anyone experienced 'flashbacks' from using mushrooms - I think that would be quite scary - especially if you were driving or at work.

No one really knows if shrooms cause long term damage to your brain. It seems to me that drugs like shrooms and dmt and salvia-natural drugs- are less abrasive than synthetics like lsd or mdma, but I don't have anything but my experience to go on.... kind of makes you wish there was some institutional research being done, aye?
That being said, terrance mckenna did die of some freaky brain tumor.. and he was all about the shrooms and dmt...

He did ask the doctors if this is what cused his tumour, they said it wasn't.

1) What makes you think were all kids? 2) NOBODY in their right mind eats 27 shrooms! Let alone 50! 3) Until you're "experienced" keep your mouth shut! You know not of what you speak! 4) Don't believe everything you read!
